Douluo Jueshi, world modulation mode

Put the soul tool from the left pocket into the right pocket.

Put the gold soul coins from your right pocket into your left pocket.

Xianlin did not give an answer immediately.

She certainly longed for a level nine soul tool.

High-level soul tools all have special, secure internal mechanisms. Xian Lin'er didn't dare to hope of cracking a level nine soul tool, because she knew she didn't have that ability. Not only her, but no one in the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent possessed such an ability. During her time in the Sun Moon Empire, although she didn't come into contact with those secrets and only learned about low- and mid-level soul tools, it still greatly shocked Xian Lin'er.

The Sun Moon Empire's superior soul tool technology compared to the original Douluo Continent wasn't solely due to its level nine soul tool masters. From concepts and traditions to actual production, the Sun Moon Empire completely overwhelmed the original Douluo Three Kingdoms in every aspect of soul tool technology. She was even once disheartened, realizing that let alone the emergence of legendary level ten soul tool masters, Shrek Academy would need several generations of effort to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire in the low to mid-level aspects. As for high-level soul tool masters, perhaps they could catch up with the current Sun Moon Empire a thousand years from now.

She once expressed her desire to meet the high-level Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

Upon learning this, Mingde Hall asked her to choose one of the eight-level soul masters to compete against.

She lost.

The defeat was complete.

Having immersed herself in the ranks of Level 8 Soul Masters for many years, Xian Lin'er once thought she could rank among the top Level 8 Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire, but ultimately received a "bottom-tier" evaluation. Her skills were proficient enough, but her thinking was like that of a frog at the bottom of a well.

If she could obtain a few level-nine soul tools, even just observing them would greatly inspire her.

Moreover, a level nine soul tool is a strategic weapon. It greatly enhances the overall strength of a titled Douluo, and unlike a soul bone, it cannot be used by only one person after absorption.

But she wasn't in a position to agree.

If it were the Sun and Moon Empire, they would only need Gold Soul Coins.

Even if the price is in the hundreds of millions.

Xianlin'er was also willing to give away all her money.

But what the other party was asking for was political significance.

For tens of thousands of years, Shrek Academy has nurtured countless talents. Previously, it annihilated the Body Sect, one of the three major powers, with the might of thunder. Like a blazing sun, Shrek Academy's current status in the original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms is even greater than that of the Spirit Hall, the former holy land of soul masters.

This kind of moment.

Once Shrek achieves political rapprochement with the Sun and Moon Empire...

What will the original Douluo Three Kingdoms think of this?
What do the other major powers think?
If the Sun Moon Empire suddenly reveals its wolfish ambitions, can the three kingdoms still unite under the organization of Shrek Academy?
"I'm sorry, it seems that Your Highness has made a wasted trip this time." Xian Lin'er declined. "Such an important matter cannot be decided by me alone. It needs to be reported to the Sea God Pavilion for a decision."

"Then please have Dean Xian pass on the message." Orange smiled slightly, not surprised at all.

"The Empire is very sincere about this matter," Orange said. "Prime Minister Hongchen watched the entire process of the previous Soul Battle Tournament in Star Luo City. Every member of your academy's team, whether it's the official team or the reserve team, has the potential to be a prodigy."

As the saying goes, a fine sword is given to a hero.

"The two teams of students are sure to be the future pillars of your academy. To demonstrate the Empire's sincerity, His Majesty ordered National Master Kong to lead a group of level nine soul masters to design several level nine soul tools based on the heroic spirit displayed by some of the prodigies. When National Master Kong heard that the senior sister of Shrek Academy's inner court had a moon-themed martial soul, he was moved by the coincidence and even used his own level ten soul tool as a reference to create a level nine soul tool related to the moon."

Xianlin'er: !

This sincerity is truly remarkable.

She had even thought that the Sun Moon Empire would select some rather useless, weak level nine soul tools, so that few people could match them and use them effectively.

But these were all custom-made. Compared to these old guys, Xianlin'er naturally hoped that these level-nine soul tools could be more suitable for Shrek Academy's younger generation.

Of course, Xianlin'er could hardly guess before seeing the actual object.

"I will convey your sincerity to the academy as it is." Xianlin'er could not make any promises.

"We can discuss the specifics later and strive for a result that satisfies both of us," Orange said slowly.

Orange said goodbye.

Xianlin'er saw him off at the door.

Then, have Fan Yu return to the academy as quickly as possible and report the matter to the Sea God Pavilion.

Meanwhile, a caravan representing the Sun Moon Empire's court set off towards the Star Luo Empire.

Soon after.

Yan Shaozhe secretly arrived in Mingdu.

It was a secret to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Upon entering the outskirts of Mingdu, he proactively identified himself to the officer on duty there. A short while later, the officer, having received instructions, informed Xian Lin'er of the matter, and Xian Lin'er took Yan Shaozhe to her residence.

Xianlin'er had expected this.

It seems the college is inclined to agree.

After all, sending this smiling fox over was probably to try and gain more benefits.

"What did the academy say?" Xianlin'er asked.

"The teacher's idea is to accept the challenge," Yan Shaozhe said. "If it's out of goodwill, we'll accept it. If it's a sugar-coated bullet, we'll eat the sugar coating and shoot the bullet back."

"On the one hand, after receiving the intelligence you sent to the academy, the teachers feel more and more that the academy must vigorously develop soul guidance technology. In this regard, we do need the help of the Sun Moon Empire. On the other hand, it is also to buy time for the children's growth, even if it is just a superficial smile."

Yan Shaozhe said, "There's no need to care about the attitudes of the other three countries. Compared to the smooth growth of Junior Brother and the others, those guys are insignificant, not to mention they have no one else to rely on. The Douling Empire is internally unstable, the Tianhun Empire is closed off, and Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo is a smart man who has long established trade relations with some merchant guilds of the Sun and Moon Empire."

"The teacher has already sent someone to inform Xu Jiawei of this matter. I will promote more trade ties between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire in the upcoming negotiations, and even a written agreement on border peace. Doesn't the Sun Moon Empire say it wants to bring peace to the continent? They must agree. Otherwise, this is clearly an attempt to sow discord between the academy and the three original kingdoms of the Douluo Continent."

"Alright then." Xian Lin'er nodded gently.

Since she's not good at this anyway, let this smiling fox try to gain more benefits.

The next morning.

The Sun and Moon Empress, accompanied by several officials and the Prime Minister of the Mortal Realm, privately hosted a banquet for Xian Lin'er. Xian Lin'er brought Yan Shaozhe to the banquet.

An Zhen already knew how thick-skinned and eloquent her senior brother Yan was, so she specially called her grandfather over.

The two old foxes clashed head-on.

In the end, both sides got what they wanted.

Upon learning that the Sun Moon Empire had begun to strengthen trade with the Star Luo Empire, Yan Shaozhe shifted his focus to the level-nine soul tools that they could purchase.

The Sun and Moon Empire has prepared four items.

An item related to the moon.

An item related to extreme fire.

Both originated from Kong Deming.

The remaining two are ice and light attributes, respectively.

Yan Shaozhe was quite pleased when he heard that it had the attribute of light.

Until Jing Hongchen took out a level nine soul tool that looked like a hairpin.

Like the Blessing of the Mortal World, it can also be used by low- to mid-level Soul Masters.

Yan Shaozhe couldn't imagine himself fighting with a hairpin; this hairpin should belong to that girl Wang Dong'er.

Yan Shaozhe pretended to be dissatisfied with the quantity of level-nine soul tools. After some haggling...

Three more worldly blessings have been added.

Each item is priced at ten million gold soul coins.

Shrek Academy officially informed the world of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, about his visit to the Sun Moon Empire, and signed various friendly trade and exchange treaties. The academy will enroll thirty students from the Sun Moon Empire each year, who will enjoy the same conditions as the original citizens of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

The key is to announce this message to the world.

Jing Hongchen didn't care about having a few more worldly protections.

If giving more wouldn't make the world think the Sun Moon Empire was showing weakness, he wouldn't mind making a few more, since they would eventually end up in his granddaughter-in-law's hands anyway. Since advancing to a level ten Soul Master, his entire demeanor had changed, and with An Zhen possessing the Life Gold, crafting a few level nine Soul Tools wasn't a significant drain on him.

He had heard An Zhen mention it. Soon, An Zhen would be returning to Shrek Academy, and would most likely be crowned the "Yellow Robe" and ascend to the position of Sea God Pavilion Master.

So, isn't the soul tool given to Shrek Academy still their own property? It's not like outsiders are using it.

at the same time.

A caravan representing the Sun and Moon Empire arrived in Star Luo City.

The envoys of the Sun Moon Empire were personally received by Xu Jiawei.

After some friendly communication.

When both parties are willing and have desires.

More trade agreements were reached.

The Sun Moon Empire sells Soul Tools ranging from level 1 to 8, but military Soul Tools are only available at level 7 and below, and there are limitations on their quantity.

The Star Luo Empire, on the other hand, needs to pay an equivalent amount of energy ore for trade exchanges, and various energy-rich treasures are also acceptable.

Soon after.

The Star Luo Empire dispatched envoys to the Sun Moon Empire.

A political peace agreement was reached.

Some royal families even sent a noblewoman from each other to marry into the other's royal family.

Although few people know that the Star Luo Emperor's younger sister was already engaged to the Regent of the Sun Moon Empire.

For a while.

A storm is brewing on the mainland.

When the major powers learned of this news, some could hardly believe it.

For a moment, everyone had different thoughts.

The Douling Empire, willing to introduce Soul Guidance Technology, took the lead by sending envoys to the Sun Moon Empire. Although the Douling Empire did not border the Sun Moon Empire like the Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire, the central imperial power, which was gradually losing control over the regions, saw the changes that Soul Guidance Technology would bring to the Xingluo Empire and yearned to regain control of the empire.

Dou Ling Empire.

Inside a lavishly decorated manor, a middle-aged man with short, silver hair who looked quite young sat in the main seat. Not far away, a couple dressed in fine clothes, who appeared to be a married couple, knelt on the ground in fear.

"The leader."

A middle-aged woman with an eerie appearance stood to one side, handing a blood-red orb of light to the other party. Painful groans came from within it; the orb was actually a collection of souls struggling in agony.

Zhongli Wu took the soul and swallowed it in one gulp, a wisp of black and red aura flashing in his eyes.

“We’ve been getting less blood and souls lately,” Zhongli Wu said.

“There’s nothing I can do. I’ve tried to go to more remote places, but the disappearance of so many people without any reason might attract the attention of those guys at Shrek Academy,” Feng Ling said.

"Damn the True Mortal World!" Zhongli Wu cursed viciously, his once handsome face instantly contorting into a hideous demon.

If it weren't for that damned guy, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

He hates.

He hated that person so much.

Because of the mortal world, he almost lost everything.

He is a member of the Holy Church.

Eight elders, twelve honorees, the principal and deputy leaders, and one supreme elder.

This is a force even greater than Shrek Academy.

He harbored grand ambitions, intending to use the Sun and Moon Empire as a springboard to truly grant the Holy Spirit Cult the right to walk in the sunlight. Then, by instigating war, the Holy Spirit Cult's power would undoubtedly rise to a new level, perhaps even turning the Sun and Moon royal family into their puppets.

But all of that is gone.

That bastard who appeared out of nowhere.

He seized control of the Sun Moon Imperial Family through unknown means, murdered his mother and Uncle Long, leaving his mother's body unburied and desecrating Uncle Long's corpse. He then swiftly dismantled the Holy Sect's long-standing schemes within the Sun Moon Empire, wiping out almost all twenty-three Title Douluo. That person, having trampled upon everything he had, became a legend in the Sun Moon Empire, his achievements sung by all, while he himself hid like a rat.

"What are your plans next, Master?" Feng Ling asked.

When the Holy Spirit Cult was in trouble, they were out searching for high-quality beast spirits. Upon returning to their base, they discovered that their stronghold in the Demon Forest had been razed to the ground, and they had almost incurred the wrath of the Evil Eye Tyrant. After hearing about the recent events in the Sun Moon Empire, they fled. Zhongli Wu was unwilling to simply slink away overseas, especially since he didn't know where to find so many souls and blood offerings there. Therefore, he came to the Spirit Fighting Empire, where there were fewer powerful individuals and it was far from the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy.

They fled all the way.

They harvested souls and blood along the way.

Get a few in each place.

However, even the most basic daily training could not be maintained, let alone accumulating the power to break through to the limit.

“Chaos.” Zhongli Wu’s gaze gradually turned sinister. “Compared to the Sun Moon Empire, we are a bit more relaxed here in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, but only chaos can create opportunities. I heard that there are some disagreements between the royal family of the Douling Empire and the local authorities.”

“Mm.” Feng Ling nodded. They had been in the Douling Empire for quite some time. This land was more prone to breeding evil spirit masters, so they subdued some wild evil spirit masters to use as their eyes and ears for gathering information.

“Then let’s follow the plan we originally prepared to implement in the Sun Moon Empire,” Zhongli Wu said. “Evil Soul Masters can’t walk in the sunlight, so we’ll be the ones behind the scenes, sowing discord between the royal family and the local authorities, and even causing a coup d’état among the nobles who have been enfeoffed. Only when many people die can we harvest a large number of souls and blood, and keep the Shrek Academy’s dog noses from smelling anything.”

"It could even throw the Douling Empire into complete chaos."

……

at the same time.

Uncle An, who had no desire to get involved with the Douling Empire, had just left the pleasure quarters. He enjoyed the beautiful women's dance, fed the little sharks, and checked his cultivation level, marveling that he was only one step away from level seventy.

Anzhen was in a great mood.

His gaze fell on the small shark in the lake.

"By the way, Dong Qianqiu, have you gained a little weight recently?"

The little shark, who was enjoying the barbecue, suddenly stopped, silently turned around, and faced away from Anzhen.
